In reply to Amanda Segal. Unlikely, but I guess there's a remote possibility.

In reply to Bob Smith. Well lookie there, we never noticed that before and thanks for bringing it to our attention. I looked on old CN maps and it doesn't show, so it must have be abandoned even before track was put in place. We followed the roadbed and it seems to end abruptly in a field just east of Highway #884.

Bulwark was going to be the junction with a CN branchline from Unity, which was unfortunately never completed. The eastern section was named the Bodo Subdivision after the farthest point it reached, and was completely abandoned by the mid 1990s. You can trace the grade heading eastward from a wye just south of Bulwark, but I’m not sure how long this section was in use or even if track was ever laid on it.
